"Require is not defined"

[Areizen]

Hi,

I'm trying to use frida-compile, when compiling binaries and then executing them with frida i'm getting the error require is not defined It seems like require() functions are not removed from the compiled sources ?

Reproduction

main.js

const a = require("./lib")
console.log(a())

lib.js

export default {
    a : function(){
        return 1;
    }
}

execution :

➜  test-frida-compile $ frida-compile test.js -o test-compiled.js
➜  test-frida-compile $ frida -l test-compiled.js -f /bin/ls

Hey, please use import statement - require is stricte runtime function in node (frida doesn't integrate node environment, it's just V8/qjs). import is processed compile-time and therefore is used by frida-compile + frida itself (as a result of frida-compile).
